I run Netdata on my home server using the official docker image. I mostly use it to detect run-away containers, and monitor system temprature. For these use-cases, it works great, and I like that it's self contained; way less headache than stringing together Graphviz stuff, or setting up Nagios or Prometheus. Beware - by default it'll send home telemetry, and the web UI will try to "register" your instance with some kind of cloud. I find this super annoying, but it's possible to turn it off; just not well documented. There's also a lot of plugins that scrape many kinds of logs, look at process data, etc. Again, might be useful, but for a home user it's much better to turn it all off. My notes here have a write-up of how to run Netdata via Docker with example config files that disable the unwanted features here: https://jake.tl/notes/2019-11-09-cozy-server#netdata https://jake.tl/notes/2019-11-09-cozy-server#netdata
